Red Sox placed LHP Felix Doubront on the 15-day disabled list with a left shoulder strain. The Red Sox haven't revealed exactly what Doubront's MRI showed, but obviously it was bad enough that he's going to miss at least a couple weeks. More information a potential timetable should be available later Wednesday. The Red Sox have not yet announced who will take Doubront's spot in the rotation, but Allen Webster, Brandon Workman and Rubby De La Rosa are all candidates.

Felix Doubront took the loss, allowing five runs over four innings against the Blue Jays on Tuesday. Doubront allowed five hits, including two home runs, while walking three and striking out two. The left-hander departed early with what was described as left shoulder fatigue. If Doubront requires a stint on the disabled list, he'll do so with a 5.12 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, and 31/19 K/BB ratio. His next start, against the Rays on the road, could be in jeopardy at the very least.

Felix Doubront (shoulder) will undergo an MRI Wednesday. Doubront was pulled from Tuesday's start because he was feeling a "restriction" in his left shoulder that was affecting his arm speed. Even if the MRI comes back clean, it would seem that a trip to the disabled list would still be a possibility. The southpaw holds a 5.12 ERA over nine starts this season.

Felix Doubront left Tuesday's start against the Blue Jays with left shoulder fatigue. Doubront was pulled from the outing in the fifth inning after summoning the trainer to the mound. It's not clear at this point if an MRI will be performed, but a trip to the disabled list would seem to be a distinct possibility. Doubront allowed four runs on five hits and three walks before exiting Tuesday.

Felix Doubront left Tuesday's start versus the Blue Jays in the fifth inning with an apparent injury. He called the trainer to the mound after allowing back-to-back doubles and eventually walked off the field and into the clubhouse. Doubront probably wasn't going to be in much longer, having allowed four runs on five hits and three walks before exiting with a runner on second. The Red Sox should update his status shortly.

Felix Doubront yielded one run in 6 1/3 innings Wednesday in a win over Minnesota. Doubront was a little shaky early, but he retired nine straight in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings before getting into trouble and getting pulled in the seventh. Blake Burdenhop bailed him out then, stranding both runners he inherited. Doubront's win was his first since his season debut back on April 3.

Felix Doubront will make his next start Wednesday against the Twins. Doubront was originally slated to pitch Tuesday, but he has flip-flopped with Jake Peavy in the starting rotation. The southpaw allowed one run over 5 1/3 innings in his last start, but owns a 5.09 ERA and 1.56 WHIP on the year.

Felix Doubront allowed one run over 5 1/3 innings of a no-decision against the Reds on Tuesday. Doubront pitched into and out of trouble all evening, giving up five hits and three walks while striking out three. The left-hander exited with the lead and a chance to improve to 2-3, but his bullpen couldn't hold the lead. Doubront takes a 5.09 ERA and 1.56 WHIP into his Tuesday start at the Twins.

Felix Doubront yielded four runs -- three earned -- in six innings Friday against the Rays. Doubront gave up two bombs, one of them coming after the left side of an infield failed to communicate and completely blew a routine popup (at least it was ruled an error on Will Middlebrooks instead of a ridiculous double for Evan Longoria). Apart from those pitches, he was quite good; he allowed just three other hits, walked one and struck out five. He left in line for the victory, but Junichi Tazawa blew the lead in the eighth.

Red Sox manager John Farrell said Friday that Felix Doubront will remain in the team's rotation. For now, anyway. Doubront holds a 6.00 ERA through his first five starts this season and has twice failed to get through three innings. His leash isn't very long.
